Mobile Apps or Mobile Websites?
A survey of 500 small businesses with both mobile apps and websites found that 73% said mobile apps returned a higher investment than websites. Customers also preferred apps over websites for repeat use, new customers, and loyalty. However, the document advocates that both apps and responsive websites are important for mobile marketing. While apps provide richer experiences, websites have advantages like lower costs and universal accessibility. The company promotes developing both an app and website for a complete mobile solution.
